If you’re on your way to Mount Lempuyang in Indonesia, you’re heading to a volcano that is also the site of a Balinese Hindu temple. To get to those things, you’ll have to pass through this intricate and detailed gate, which has stood the test of time.
The western world knows it as “The Gates of Heaven.” If you happen to find yourself in Indonesia, it’s an incredible place to visit, and despite how nice this picture is, it hardly does the entire area justice. Beautiful mountains and astonishing architecture are both on display.
Somebody's Mop Died
No, what you see isn't a sad part of someone's housekeeping kit – it's a dog. Look close enough, and you're able to see the nose and eyes. This breed is called a Komondor, and he's waiting to be judged on the second day of the Crufts dog show in 2011.
Also known as the Hungarian sheepdog, a Komondor spends its day guarding livestock and property. They're known to be gentle, calm, and affectionate. As you might imagine, they are commonly referred to as mop dogs. The thick, ropey fur that it has traps warmth and keeps it toasty in cold weather.
I'm Open!
Chances are you recognize the guy in this photo. It's none other than ex-president Bill Clinton, less than a year into his presidency. He's reaching for an overthrown ball during a casual football game on December thirty-first, 1993.
While it looks like this pass isn't going to make it to the end zone, we're sure there were plenty more chances for this guy to score that will be coming up. Seeing someone often thought of as dignified with such a strange expression on his face is weird. Unfortunately, that one won't show up in the official portrait.
Keeping Track
Butterflies are famous for their beautiful wings. Sometimes the random development of the patterns gives us images, but this one is a little different from the standard stuff. To us humans, it looks like this little guy has "80" printed right on the wing.
No doubt this is just random chance, natural selection, or something like that, but it's still interesting to see it so clearly. Does an older brother have the number seventy-nine on the wings?
A Snail-Rabbit? A Rabbit-Snail?
If you're like us, you did a double-take when you saw this picture. At first, it looks like a cuddly little bunny, but then you realize it's an enormous snail.
While we don't expect many people reading this to be the kind that will happily go out and pick up snails, it should be noted that a lot of snails can carry a lot of parasites and other nasties that will make your life difficult. So, even if you happen to find a snail that is this ginormous, you should wear a pair of gloves before you do anything with it.
